To all perrons to whom, these presents may come:

Be it kiwn that I, Gnome Drinnen, of Hope chusetts, have mnde new and useful invention having tc Machines for ,Beaming Yarn or Wnrps and do hereby declare the natnre'nd purpose of the unid invention, and the nihunerinwvhich' it is to be `performed or is constructed and operatedyto he hereiuafterdesorihed, reference heing` had tothe accompanyingfdrawingin which the id invent-lon in representedlnlts nppiieatiim lo who is technically culled A The main purpose-ofthe invention is to 'eiet the winding f the yainsor wnrps on -the warp-beam or l roller at a uniform speed or velo'ty while the 'winding may be in the/process of being carried on.

other words, the ,meehtnisi eeesttlng' the inveeltion is for muintnihing nnilormit-yof wind or surface speed of wind ofthe yarn on the beam;

When-n warp-dresser or a slasher-henm is driven or revolved et :t uniform speed the yai'n or quantity wound thereon will have its droit or velocity of wind increased as the mass on'the henml may increase in diameter.

With my invention, notwithstanding the constant v variation in the diameter of the mass of the yarn ,on

the beam, the yarn will be wound upon the benin with a uniform velocity. l A

Furthermore, the degree of velocity of wind of the yarn may be varied at will, :ind to n greater extent,

A by my invention than by any other known to me.

The velocity of the winding of the yarn on the beam will remain uniform -uutil the maehinery may be ect to produce a diilerent rate of speed or wind of such yarn. 4

In carrying out my invention I .do not employ, pn n vertical shaft connected with the -yninhenm hy n.

l train oi' gears, a friction-wheel to slide on such shaft or on a. feather or rib extended therefrom, and also toA rest circninierentinlly against theide of a driving-disk to he put in revolution by another shaft, such mechanism 'boing very' uncertain for operating the yarn-beam, although the velocity of motion of such nitty be changed hymoving the friction-wheel Inenrertoor further lrointhc center' or axis ot' the driving-disl l n I have substituted for such friction-wheel and disk a set ol' cone'pulle'ys. or drums, nn endless heit, and certain other mechanism, to be hereinafter described. I have also made other important ehnnges, all oi' which '.l'shnll nowAproceed to explain.

A is the yarn-beam or roller upon which the wnrps o r yarn are to he wound. ',15 and G are guide-rollers, ou which the wnrps pass during their passage from n roller. Il to the iremn en 6l 'which 'is the :mme :is in :in ordinary Slasher.

On the shaft of either of the rollers 0 I, and at or near the outer end oi such shaft, there is xedn with another such gear,b, fixed upon `:t short shaft, provided with a drivingwheel, c.

An endless belt; d, goes around the wheel c, and :mother wheel, e, fixed on a short tubular shaft or sleeve, f, (see lig. 7.)

'lhe ,shalt f. revolves freely on another or longer shaft, k, and is provided with a bevel-gear y, thatl engagea with two bevel'pinione'h h, whose spindles nie'arrnnged in :ind supported by n spnrgenr,"l, all as represented.

The spur-gear l is to revolve freely on the shaft- 7c,

and to-run 'between the said gearg and another `auchy bevel-gear, i, fastened 'to the shaft 7:. l

The geur l engages with a spur-gear, m, oi' train of gears, m n o 1, arranged as represented.

The two intermediate gems n o have their axles or pivots prdieetod from :ind supported by-n. lever, s', whose i'ulcruni is the axle or pivot oi' the gear m.

The gear p is iixcd on n horizontal shalt, qioxtending across the fimne of tho ninehino, und being provided with a long screw, r.

There lis :i cranked vwheel, o', fixed on lhe shall l.

By taking hold of the handle of Lhe crnnhedwhcel and turning the wheel the screw m' moy be revolved so as to move the belt c" on and endivise of the cone drums li d'. From the above il will he seen that, when ihe driving-shall; j" is in revolulzion, the yarn beam A will have a. roiarymotion im parted to it, by menus of ille cone-drum el, the endless .belt 2, the cone-drum e, and the train pf gears w x z a and iheir shafts, euch constituting in substance the mechanism for eiiecling ro tary motion of the yam-beam. l

Furthermore, il; will also bcseen limi there is ap plied to the heli; i, of the oai rneohanisimn mechaniem for. gradually moving ii; from the smaller to the larger end of the cone-drun1 e :is the mese of yarn wound on the beam A may increase in'dizmneter, the purpose of auch mechanism being to gradually clacken ille speed of the hczimA..

This hitter mechanism is composed snbsieniinliy of the train 0i gea s ih, g' f', the conedrnms d anni b', ihe endleos bell; d, the -tmin `of geom 5 'in n op, the shais k, e, and q, the arer: i', :ind the heli-shifter s.

Were such thc only mechanism employed for :icinating the' beam A il; would have a, eonslant decrease of velocity imparted to it, such being regulated ordetcrmined according to the position of the heli; o' on the drums b d.

Now a constant decrease in ynrn-hcnm will not suiiice to cnnble i5 lo properly tolse up orwnd np the yarn or wnrps; for :is `the amount wound on thc hcnm muy increase in didine ier, the yann would nc wound up too fast :ind its driitl would be increased to too grunt anwexten.

'lo reduce tho rclocity ot' the beam, or regnlni'c such so :is i'o conse in io impart. to the surface of the wind n nniiinm velocity :is il'J may increase in dininerer, i becomes nccessnry to combine with the mcchanisin inst described another, viz., that composed oi' thc goers a Il, the pulley c, ihc endless band 1I, the pulley e, the simil; j; and gears y, h, and i, such being applied together, and to the shall; .linnd the yarn-guide roller C, in nimmer as described and rep resented.

ihis latter mechanism may bc termed the compound motion.

lin mode ni operation may be thus described.

'When there is any tendency of the beam A to take or wind up the yarn too hier, n. corresponding increase will talco place in the rotary motion of the guide-roller C, which will be imported lo the hereigeiir y, thereby causing il to revolve foster than its lello?! geur i.

it necessarily follows from this that the speed of the nenni A will he Blackened to the requisite exen.
